DYK for Wind phone

edit

On 21 February 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Wind phone, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the wind phone in Japan was set up to allow people to talk to the dead? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Wind phone. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Wind phone), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (ie, 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Your intriguing DYK hook about the wind phone and its use to communicate with the dead drew 11,352 page views (473 per hour) while on the Main Page. It is one of the most viewed hooks so far during the month of February and has earned a place on the Best of February list. Keep up the great work! Cbl62 (talk) 19:49, 24 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
